Nonfiction Monday

Presidents of the United States, a new release from Time For
Kids, offers a one or two page spread on each president complete with a sidebar
that provides an illustration and essential facts. A timeline along the bottom of the pages
highlights important events during each president’s time in office.

In addition the book opens with background information about
the nature of the presidency, a helpful overview of the three branches of
government and insight into the concept of a multiple political party
system. Following the newly elected 45th
president, there are discussions of the basic steps in organizing a campaign,
highlights from the 2016 election, an
inside look at the White House, and a brief discussion of several of the
familiar First Ladies.

The
compact eighty-page volume captures American political life in a nutshell and
gives young readers a basic overview of our leaders past and present and the
government in which they operate.

REVIEW SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

As an author, I know how personal the writing experience is and I understand how much hard work and heart goes into the creation of a story. I only publish positive reviews so I am very selective when it comes to choosing books to appear on this site.

Before making an inquiry please look at books already reviewed here to get a feel for the types of books that interest me.

To submit a book for review: email your query or press release to jsquiresbooks@ca.rr.com. Include the following information: Cover jpeg, Title, Author, ISBN, Publisher, publication date, number of pages, genre. a brief (about 100 words) summary, book awards or reviews, author bio (50 words or less), and contact information: email, website, blog.

Due to the volume of review requests that I receive, I only respond to inquiries that interest me. If you don't hear from me within 30 days, it is probably safe to assume I won't be in touch.
